Massage therapy sometimes help relieve the some of the pain and it can provide a little bit of a boost to your strength (although it can also have the opposite effect with some people). Stretching might help with the back problems - there's some good info at the link.
One thing that sometimes helps with strength is to take a calcium/magnesium supplement once or twice a day. This is hit or miss -if you don't notice a difference after several days with one tablet, try two tablets, and if there's still no obvious difference in a couple more days, then this isn't something that will help.

My aunt has M.E. and she says that swimming is a good way to increase your strength because you can go at your own pace and can gradually get better at it..
